InDesign 2022 (v. 17.4) ImageCatalog script broken

I have the original javascript ImageCatalog script as well as ImageCatalog-EDITED by Laubender. They have both served their purpose, but with the recent InDesign update, I am encountering an error as shown below:

I don't know if fixing this error will create other errors, and I am not a coder. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thank you so much... I'm running macOS Catalina v. 10.15.7 if that's helpful.

Correct answer debbieg53798723

but they error out differently in 2022

 

Can you show a capture of the error dialog for my script? What OS are you using?


Ok.... @rob day .... this is most embarassing... None of those scripts were working.... I quit InDesign 2022 and launched InDesign 2021 to get what I needed to do for this project done. Then quit InDesign 2021 and re-launched InDesign 2022 to run your script... and... it worked... so did ImageCatalog! No issues...

 

I guess there were gremlins in my computer!

Hi @debbieg53798723 , the ImageCatalog is from 2009, so that might be a problem. You are welcome to try this catalog script, which is working in CC2021:

Thank you, Rob, ImageCatalog and ImageCatalog-Edited both work in 2021 as well. I tried downloading your scripts before I created this thread, but they error out differently in 2022. I need the fix for 2022 to maintain InDesign version synchronicity with my workmates.

It should be noted that in the original version of ImageCatalog, the error appears on line 300 instead.
